[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 583101, member: 84"] Lawsuits prompt that sort of policy. And there will be no lawsuit because residents will have been informed this is policy when they chose to live there. I'm sure paperwork was signed to this effect. Maybe it is because I've worked on the medical side, dunno, but actually the 911 operator aggravated me. She was NOT helping in that situation. She was losing her cool.....and well, not being professional. I can understand her point, but still. I can also understand that nurses' position as well. And no one knows if this elderly woman had a DNR in place or not. Many elderly choose these facilities because they do NOT want resuscitated. Now nurse is going to be made out to be the villain in this when she was following policy. Not following policy could not only cost her her job but *might* cost her her license as well. Of course when the news is shooting for ratings and sensationalism they never consider those things. Ticks me off. [/QUOTE]
